Spielbound's board game library is officially a nonprofit organization.
The board game haven at 3229 Harney St. in Midtown Crossing has a café and the game library, and the library of 1,350 donated board games now is operated separately.
The library was recently granted tax-exempt status as a public charity. That 501c(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service means contributions dating to Spielbound’s Oct. 22, 2012, founding are tax deductible.
"Our volunteers have put in literally thousands of hours helping build this organization and its game library to make it a truly unique and welcoming center," said CEO Kaleb Michaud. He said nonprofit status will help grow educator-support programs and remove barriers to grant applications.
